Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1677005 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Manufacturer and Series: Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON® A16 series maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility within the product line
• Connector Type and Gender: Female insert configuration ensures proper mating with existing male connectors
• Size and Position Count: D25 housing with 16-position capacity defines the physical footprint and contact arrangement
• Termination Style: Screw termination compatibility with existing wiring infrastructure
• Voltage and Temperature Ratings: 600V minimum voltage rating and -40°C to 125°C operating range establish baseline electrical performance
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper alloy with silver finish ensures electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

The substitute part 1585320 maintains these core parameters while offering enhanced electrical performance and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1585320 serves as the active product replacement for the obsolete 1677005. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 1677005 is obsolete, while 1585320 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited MSL rating. The 1585320 achieves ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status, representing current regulatory alignment.

Electrical Performance: The 1585320 provides enhanced current capacity at 19A compared to the original 10A rating, while maintaining identical 600V voltage rating and operating temperature range.

Physical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain D25 size, female gender, and screw termination within the HEAVYCON® A16 series, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing mating components.

Housing Material Difference: The 1585320 uses polycarbonate (PC) housing versus polyamide (PA) in the original part. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 rating and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Ground Position Addition: The 1585320 includes a dedicated ground position (16+Ground configuration) in addition to the 16 signal positions, providing enhanced grounding capability for applications requiring dedicated ground connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1585320 directly replace the 1677005 in existing installations?

A: The 1585320 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility within the HEAVYCON® A16 series. Both parts share D25 size, female gender, screw termination, and identical voltage and temperature ratings. The primary difference is the addition of a ground position and increased current capacity in the substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the 16+Ground position configuration in the 1585320?

A: The additional ground position provides a dedicated connection point for grounding, separate from the 16 signal positions. This configuration is beneficial for applications requiring isolated ground paths or enhanced EMI control.

Q: How does the housing material change from polyamide to polycarbonate affect performance?

A: Both polyamide and polycarbonate materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the identical -40°C to 125°C temperature range. Polycarbonate offers improved impact resistance and optical clarity, while maintaining electrical insulation properties required for this application.

Q: Is the increased current rating of 19A in the 1585320 backward compatible with 10A applications?

A: Yes. The 1585320 is rated for 19A maximum current, making it suitable for applications originally designed for 10A operation. The higher rating provides additional capacity margin without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both certifications restrict hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard with updated substance restrictions and compliance requirements compared to earlier RoHS versions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 1677005 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1585320 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
